weezcake Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 (Updated: July 15, 2007) (Note: If you're on a Mac, scroll to the bottom. I don't use a Mac and I haven't tried them. But they have been suggested to me.) Step 1. Download and install HyperCam. http://www.hypercam.com Note: The free version will place "unregistered HyperCam" in the corner of your video. It does not show up on the full (paid) version. Step 2. Select the Runescape window. Open HyperCam 2. You will see a window that looks like this: You can choose one of the buttons to select your window: Select Region: This lets you drag your own custom sized window. I selected the Runescape game window only: Select Window: This will select the window automatically. Note the white border that appears around the window when you select this option. Step 3. Record + Edit. Once you've selected an appropriate window, press F2 to start recording (for default settings). Press F2 again to stop recording. By default, your videos will be saved to the "My Documents" folder as Clip.avi To edit, most users use Windows Movie Maker (but please, feel free to use your favorite). Windows Movie Maker is located in Start -> All Programs -> Accessories Or C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\moviemk.exe, if it's not there. 1. Drag your clip(s) into Windows Movie Maker. 2. Mess with them, edit them, cut, etc. 3. When you're done, select file-> Save Movie File. (.mpg or .wmv) 4. Select a reasonable filesize for your video. 5. Upload to your favorite file sharing website. Many people use: Youtube: http://www.youtube.com MegaUpload: http://www.megaupload.com FileFront: http://www.filefront.com ============================ FAQ: Runescape lags when I try to record a video. How do I fix this? Unfortunately, screen recording programs take up a lot of your computer's resources to do so. These programs slow down your computer when you use them -- computers with faster processors, video cards, and more RAM will lag less when recording. The only thing I can think of is to lower the Frames Per Second (FPS). By default, hypercam records 10FPS. Lowering this will making the play on Runescape smoother, but will make your video choppier. How do I change the quality of my video? There are a few things you can do. However, note that each of these will slow down your computer when recording. - Increase the frames per second. More FPS = smoother video. However, this will cause more lag when recording with a slower computer. - Increase the Frame Compression Quality. The default is 75%. If your computer can handle it, up to a higher number (100% is best). If it cannot, it will look like your Runescape has frozen until you press f2 to stop the recording. - Select the Full Frames (no compression) video compressor (under the AVI tab). This will capture every single frame and will give you GREAT quality. However, because these files are uncompressed, they take up a big chunk of your hard drive. A 30-second (10FPS) uncompressed video is about 700mb. (1000mb = 1gb) How do I record sound? I have tried recording the sound in Runescape, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure why. If someone could answer this question, then please post here. ========================= Other programs: Camtasia (30 day free trial, tutorial posted here) ZD Soft Screen Recorder (5 minute limit w/ watermark on free version) Mac Programs (tutorial): iShowU Display Eater Linux: xVidCap : I haven't used this, but it has been recommended for Linux users. Please post any errors and/or anything I should add. Or suggestions. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

Kaphias Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'll check right now if you can use it on a Mac... EDIT: Hypercam is a no-can-do for Mac users.

Vape Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 A tip: when taking screenshots of almost anything except a photograph, PNG images will give you far better quality for lower filesize than jpeg. Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphias Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 A tip: when taking screenshots of almost anything except a photograph, PNG images will give you far better quality for lower filesize than jpeg. Really? I'll have to check that out. I thought that .gif gave a low filesize too, but a lower quality. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_G Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 The ZD Soft link weez supplied was different to mine and is only a trial which has a 5 minute limit and will have a watermark imprinted to your video, but it should still do the job fine if you want an alternative to Hypercam.

Jard_Y_Dooku Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 CamStudio, found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/ is absolutely EXCELLENT. Free, open-source (SourceForge ftw) and no nonsense watermarks. I HIGHLY recommend downloading the CamStudio lossless codec as well, so you can make videos with lossless compression... so they don't look like a bunch of JPEGS (gross!). Lossless ftw. Just a note: the player has a small bug where it deletes a section of the video when watching it, however the actual file is NOT corrupted so if you watch it in Windows Media Player or any other player, it's fine. EDIT: Another bug I found: recording takes out a 1 pixel high and (half of video width) pixel wide section of the video when recording; this seems to actually be in the video. I have my C++ book on my desk and Visual Studio 2005 Standard is awaiting shipping from Amazon so hopefully I'll be able to fire it up and fix a few bugs! Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olgath Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 For linux users, I suggest Wink or Istanbul. Wink writes to swf files, and Istanbul writes to ogg vorbis, which can be converted to other formats using vlc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezcake Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 how do you post it Added Step 5: Uploading your file whenver i use hypercam my runescape screen just freezes when i start recording...is this just because my cpu sux? Hypercam uses a lot of RAM, so it may be that your computer isn't up to the task of recording. there are a few of the downloads and i dunno which one to get. there number 2 for english but it seems to cost, is this true? Yes, camtasia is only a trial. It is free for the first 30 days then you have to buy it if you want to keep using it. How do I save the clip that I recorded? Question And does it record the sound of the thing itself or the sound that we make outside?? For example, If I like a scene of a movie and I record it, does the movies sound gets recorded ?? Well I tried it just now with my winamp on and it didn't record my music. I don't have any time to try RS right now, but I will try it eventually and give you an answer :) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
